Get MechWarrior 4 for Free Soon

A cheery news nugget found over on VE3D today states that MekTek.net and MekTek Studios have been given permission to package up and release MechWarrior 4 and all of its associated expansion packs for free.

This generous deal is a celebration of BattleTech's impending 25th anniversary. Smith and Tinker's Jordan Weisman gave permission to MekTek, which will be launching the free bundle in the near future:

In honor of BattleTech's 25th anniversary, Smith and Tinker has authorized MekTek.net and MekTek Studios to distribute MechWarrior 4 (along with its expansion packs) completely free. For years, MekTek.net has been the central point for online distribution of MechWarrior 4 expansion packs. Now they can provide the core game free to the fans as well. Keep an eye on BattleTech.com... the free download will be available soon!
